Responsibilities
As a Software Engineer II at Microsoft, you will be part of a team of engineers who build and run the Azure infrastructure behind FD&E. This is a software engineering role with real site reliability ownership: you write the code and the infrastructure, ship it through your own pipelines, and keep it healthy in production.
- Design, develop, deploy, and operate scalable cloud based data, analytics, automation, and tooling solutions on modern Azure data platforms, owning each one end to end through design, implementation, and operations.
- Build, manage, and maintain Azure infrastructure across environments, covering compute, networking, storage, identity, certificates, and service dependencies, and adapt engineering practices to security and compliance constrained environments.
- Define infrastructure as code with ARM, Bicep, or Terraform, and build, maintain, and troubleshoot YAML based Azure DevOps build and release pipelines with automated test gates, security scanning, and safe deployment with rollback.
- Drive engineering excellence and service reliability through design, testing, observability, and deep diagnostics using logs, metrics, telemetry, and Kusto (KQL).
- Instrument what you build with monitoring, logging, alerting, and insightful dashboards so issues are caught proactively, and use telemetry and usage analytics to understand customer behavior and inform product decisions.
- Support live site operations, including on call, incident triage, root cause analysis, and driving issues to resolution, then automate the toil that causes repeat incidents.
- Engineer for cost as well as reliability, using rightsizing, scheduling, and automated detection of idle or oversized Azure resources.
- Integrate AI capabilities such as Azure OpenAI and Copilot tooling to make engineering and operations workflows faster and more intelligent.
- Collaborate across stakeholders, product managers, and engineers, contribute to the evolution of Microsoft's data platforms through technical feedback and innovation, and champion a culture of diversity, inclusion, customer obsession, and continuous learning.
